Excuses

Typical Excuses for NOT Training Employees… and why they are not valid.

1

‘If we train them, they will just leave.’

 

Train one employee and they may leave, train your entire workforce and you will always have competent employees to run your facility.

2

‘I can’t pay for training without a grant.’

 

If you wait for the government to train your employees, they may never get trained. On average, our customers report a three month payback on their training investment.

3

‘I can’t convince management.’

 

Give us a call. We have years of experience in helping companies of all sizes convince management to invest in their workforce.

4

‘We tried training and it didn’t work.’

 

Having machine service personnel or outside trainers come in for only a day or two is not considered a training commitment.

5

‘I don’t have the time to train.’

 

We offer many different training options that will consume minimal time to administer and facilitate.

6

‘Not everyone on the floor needs training.’

 

Without training, your employees do not understand the process or the equipment around them. A company will be in a better position to succeed if their entire workforce is trained to perform their job well.

7

‘My employees will view the training as a hassle.’

 

Most companies are amazed at the amount of drive that employees display have when they are presented with a direction or path to follow for self improvement.

8

‘If I train my employees, they will want more money.’

 

Compensation, although nice, is not always necessary. Companies often sidestep this by making it a requirement to retain employment or gain advancement toward another job position.

9

‘I can’t find training that’s specific to my operation.’

 

In most cases, there is general training out there for every process. You should always plan to customize the training or integrate supplemental on-the-job training to reinforce your particulars.

10

‘Training costs too much.’

 

Compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that companies lose annually as a direct result of their poorly skilled employees, the cost of training your workforce is significantly lower.

11

‘You can’t teach processing – some people are just good at it.’

 

We have helped companies train employees at every possible skill level, from novice to near expert. In order to process with confidence, the operator must first understand the associated parameters and how they affect the process.
